Amazing payoff! I feel sufficiently rewarded for my heroic patience. *coughs*
Aurora is adorable and beautifully blue. I'm very excited to see more of her.

The mystery unfolds at last. It was hilarious to see Air pregnant. So, that's why we see only Air's back in most of the pictures. Anyway, many welcome to Aurora Grim. She is a real cutie.  Looking forward for next update.

Aww, Aurora is so adorable (and agreed on not calling her Briar Rose, no need to confuse the poor girl) and man, does that dark red hair look good on her. Good job, Rachehebe, way to take one for the team. Is it wrong of me to say that I hope the household shrinks quickly enough for Scarlet to snag a kid with Heath? They would make amazing looking kids and would have a shot at rolling a lot of lines into the Grims. Anyways, congrats to Air for the cutie and for the near completion of his requirements. I hope Ash manages to spread the red at some point, it would be sad to almost lose it completely (I say almost because Artie will always be around to father a brood of red younglings if the situation ever calls for it).

Wow -- Your screenshots very masterfully concealed an entire pregnancy without making it look like you were trying to do that. Or was it just the talk of suspense that made it work so well on me? *rechecks screenies* Congrats on that heir, Alistair and Rachebe!

Yay, I knew it! It was the fishing trip that triggered it for me otherwise I was not so confident. Aurora is beautiful, I enjoyed seeing Air's discomfort, lol. Awesome updates, Rica!

I was gonna chant "NO MORE FLESHBOOS" but that sounds pretty gross. But she's blue! We're back to our scheduled colorful programming. ;)

(I also held off on commenting for this whole mystery because I knew too much. Glad to be back!)

Fleshboos - coming to a supernatural mod near you!  And yes.. blue! Artie has a blueboo in the family.. how funny is that.

Alistair makes the greatest facial expressions!
And I think he looks very sexy when he's pregnant!

Welcome to your crazy house, Aurora! Generation 4, at long last!
  Alistair is something else.  But for the most part he was a happy pregnant man.  Except that time he randomly started yelling at Rachel.  No idea what that's about.

Amazing payoff! I feel sufficiently rewarded for my heroic patience. *coughs*
Aurora is adorable and beautifully blue. I'm very excited to see more of her.
  Haha I'm glad!  And you will definitely see more of her in the near(ish) future.  Got sucked into a game but then remembered I have a story to keep going so I'm working on that now as we speak.

The mystery unfolds at last. It was hilarious to see Air pregnant. So, that's why we see only Air's back in most of the pictures. Anyway, many welcome to Aurora Grim. She is a real cutie.  Looking forward for next update.
  Yes that's part of it.  There was no hiding that boy was pregnant and there was only so many shots I could do when he wouldn't sit behind a table or something so I could play the angle game!

Not wrong of you at all but Markus isn't an elder yet sadly (But soon!)  He also has the active trait, which when I gave it to him I didn't realize that might mean he would live longer than your average elder.  Here's to hoping he understands I have a dynasty to run.   As for Ash - Ash had plans of his own and I'm okay with supporting that. 

Wow -- Your screenshots very masterfully concealed an entire pregnancy without making it look like you were trying to do that. Or was it just the talk of suspense that made it work so well on me? *rechecks screenies* Congrats on that heir, Alistair and Rachebe!
It could be both.  I was fiendishly delighted as I came up with the plan for the screenshots and then again as I did the posts so.. *shrugs* 

Yay, I knew it! It was the fishing trip that triggered it for me otherwise I was not so confident. Aurora is beautiful, I enjoyed seeing Air's discomfort, lol. Awesome updates, Rica!
  Thank you!  And I tried to hide it at the fishing trip with creative angles but you just never know with these Sims, you know?  But I swear Air was happier pregnant than he was being a serial romantic.

So it appears that sometimes there's a silver lining to going AWOL from the forum for a while lol no suspense for me... Love that Air was the baby-mama lol I mean daddy ;-)
  Haha.  We still go by Daddy as far as I'm concerned.  He just, you know, did the hard parts.  And don't worry.. I'll get you on the suspense another time ;)

Aurora - Daddy?
Alistair - Yes sweetie.
Aurora - Think we could maybe go into the other room so I can sit down?
Alistair - .. Oh.. sure. We can most certainly do that.


Markus - *maniacally laughs*
Addy - Less laughter, more capturing of epic saga.
Markus - She's been out of the bassinet for less than two hours.  How can she have an epic saga?
Addy - Obviously it will write itself once you bind it to her soul.
Markus - Huh.  Never thought of it that way.
Addy - This is why I'm the watcher and you're the watched.  Now hurry.


Alistair - Once upon a time..
Aurora - Ooh is there going to be a princess?
Alistair - Why not let me get started..
Aurora - Ok.
Alistair - Once upon a time, there was --
Aurora - Ooh is there going to be dragons?
Alistair - Maybe.. You'll have to see.
Aurora - Oh ok.
Alistair - Once upon a time there was --
Aurora - Hey Daddy..
Alistair - *internal: This is going to be a long two hours.* Yes dear?
Aurora - I love you.
Alistair - I love you too.  Can I read?
Aurora - Of course.


Alistair - Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess.. *waits*
Aurora - *waits*
Alistair - *waits*
Aurora - *blinks* What's wrong Daddy?
Alistair - Well aren't you going to ask me anymore questions?
Aurora - Why would I do that?  You're reading.
Alistair - *eyelid twitches* There was a lovely princess but she had an enchantment...


Addy - Why are we all standing around staring?
Aria - I'm playing three games with Aurora.
Artie - I'm mentoring her for the three games.
Alistair - I'm just chatting her up and distracting all of them at once.
Addy -*snickers*


Lorena - Oh.. wow Cassie.  Why didn't you tell us it was your birthday?
Cassie - I didn't want to know.  Now I'm old.
Lorena - So?  I am too.
Clifton - Hmm.. This might not be good anymore.


Amir - And there we were--- *gasps loudly*
Bridgette - What? What?!
Amir - Don't look now but there's something hideous behind you..
Cassie - Just going to eat my ice cream, watch some tv and ignore you!


Artie - *chuckles*  You're not supposed to fall off you know.
Scarlet - *dizzy* Oh yea?
Artie - Yeah.  Fitness 101.. stay on the treadmill.


Rachel - So.. after everything..
Ash - Yeah?
Rachel - The things I said in private.  I meant those.
Ash - Did you?  And besides.. you're the mother.. father.. female parent of niece.
Rachel - I am but that was the plan before the other thing.
Ash - You mean before you kissed me.
Rachel - *splashes him*


Ash - I'm not just going to do this whenever we get a chance to sneak around.
Rachel - I'm not talking about sneaking around.  I'm talking about doing it right.
Ash - You mean that?
Rachel - Yes.. It's all I've been wishing for lately.
Addy - Don't I know it.


Ash  - I thought about what you said.. and.. be mine Rachel.
Rachel - You mean it?
Ash - Yes.. I want to.
Rachel - *squee*

Clifton - Markus, This guy isn't actually that funny.
Markus - *laugh, snort, gasp!*
Clifton - Markus?
Addy - Markus!


Markus - *Still gasping for breath*
Addy - Snap out of it man and head to the bathroom.
Markus - *Gasp* Can't.. *laugh, gasp* Breathe..
Amir - Dude you okay over there?
Cassie - He's just playing around like he always does.


Markus - Ha! Ha! Haaaaa *farts from laughing*
Amir - Oh my Watcher.
Bridgette - Ew!   I had my mouth open and everything.
Artie - What in all of the underworld is going on over here.. Oh no.
Addy - He won't move.
Artie - Who had it on the comedy channel?
 *crickets*


Addy - This isn't good.
Artie - I know. 
Addy - What if that whole NPC pleading thing is for real?
Lorena - *sucking in a breath through her teeth* I'm not gonna do it.
Artie - I don't know.. we've got 3 clubs here right now.
Addy - Okay people let's rally to new locations!
Everyone - *demands to witness death* 
Addy - *frustrated sigh*


Reaper - Wait.. .. it's his birthday.'
Artie - *winces* I know.  I know.
Reaper - What happened?
Artie - Circumstances out of my control.  So how bad is it?
Reaper - Well.. not sure it violates the rules.. exactly.  We'll get a message to the Boss and see what gets said.


Artie - *cries behind Clifton*  This could be my HoF..
Addy - Smooth .. real smooth.
Ash - Aurora sweetie.. No. Why don't you go back in?
Aurora - I want to see!


Addy - Why's he just standing there?
Artie - Maybe someone is talking to him?
Reaper - Other than you?
Clifton - Oh what a cruel way to go.
Rest of Reid's Brood - *smiles for the camera, watching TV.. still* Not us.
Addy - Actually I imagine it was quite hilarious.
Artie - Ba-dum-tish.


Aurora - *starts crying really hard*
Addy - Oh sweetie.  Don't cry.  You don't need to see this.
Ash - Hey pumpkinhead.  C'mere. 


Scarlet - Hey sweetie.  Did Uncle Ash explain what's going on?
Aurora - Well.. he said something about accidents can happen but that Death was a normal part of Grim life.
Scarlet - He's right.  Sometimes this happens when we're young.  Can I do anything for you?  You want to try a moodlet solver?


Scarlet - The important thing is that you know this is all going to be okay.  Alright?
Aurora - Alright. *sniff* Scarlet can I ask you something?
Scarlet - Anything sweetie.
Aurora - Does this mean you're going to have a baby now?
Scarlet - *almost chokes on her own spit*  Umm.  That's not really something I have planned at the moment.
Aurora - You totally should.  And I should get to name her.  We'll be best friends forever.


Artie - You okay, princess?
Aurora - Scarlet looked a little upset when I asked if she was going to have a baby.
Artie - Uhh.. yeah.  That's a sensitive subject for some people, honey.
Aurora - Oh.  Did you know I have so many problems..
Artie - Did you just complain about your problems.. as a 3 day old?
Aurora - *innocent* Maybe.


Lorena - *mourns Markus so we can't move the tombstone*
Artie - I know it's a bad time.. but how about I lead Reid's Brood for a bit?
Amir - You know what.. that's probably a good decision, you know.  I don't know anything about clubs. 
Addy - Wow.. Timing.. You suck at it.


Amir - Dude.  Why's he still here?
Artie - I don't actually know.
Amir - Don't think he's here for me do you?
Artie - No.. Don't think so. 
Alex - My life sucks...


Air - Uhh.. is that who I think it is?
Addy - Oh!  So that's why he refuses to go into Artie's pants.
Air - Um. 
Addy - You know what I meant.. Why are you drinking?
Air - I'm going fishing.  You always drink with fishing.  Makes the fish bigger.. ask anyone.




Ricanote:  So this actually happened.  Came out of a super long loading screen to find him ready to pass out.  I got the notification about 10 seconds after I got to see the family.  I sent a note to the team to double check my HoF status and see if I can continue from this moment.  We shall see.  But I had to share my news!  So everyone can be as shocked as I am!

RIP Markus.. :(

Yikes! Though I callously have to thank you for the pictures; I've never seen a sim die of hysteria before. Farting? Really?
Fingers and toes crossed for your HOF status!

Oh no, Markus!  What a shock!

Rest in peace, Markus. You were a charming and prolific sim!
How did the Watcher deal with all the extended family grieving over Markus' demise?

And when will Heath make his move?

Aurora is like my nephew while watching any kid show/movie, no doubt your niece was inspiration for that?

RIP Markus! Didn't know loading screens could turn out to be so deadly, though I have to say I'm at least thankful it wasn't one of the heirs in his position. Hope you can still qualify for HoF!
